What I meant by "Left Behind" BTW was that there's a series of books aimed at christian fundamentalists about the end of the world. Those who don't get taken up to heaven have to fight it out with the forces of the devil.

The Stand stck me as similar because it was all black and white and post-apocalyptic. I don't like Steven King anyway... it's been about 20 years since he's written anything remotely interesting.

my all time favorite movie is Newsies the first time i saw it i was in 5th grade....i have watched that movie more than any other movie i have ever seen. i just love musicals......and christian bale lol

Yes, thats the one - 6 hours of pure entertainment. Not sure what you mean by "left behind" but i enjoy the film very much (and have just discovered that i can also get a few quid for my dvd on Ebay! - not that i'd part with it - its a good film for when i'm poorly and can't be bothered to get off the sofa!)

I also like films such as The Colour Purple and a film i hav'nt seen for ages but thought was great was Hairspray..........does anyone else like it?

Left behind was a series / books somehow related to the bible... I never did watch it.. something to do with the folk left behind that weren't pure and werent damned either so they roam the earth i dunno.

The stand came out long before left behind i think... i could be wrong. sooo Left Behind might be a little..... The Standish. I loved the intro song with the slide guitar... which im currently learning how to play.... very slowly. The song is called project blue on the soundtrack. If anyone has the stand sound track i would MUCH appreciate a copy of Project Blue.

Theophrastus write: Isn't the Stand the one where everyone dies apart from a tiny group of people and one load live in Las Vegas and the other half with some toothless old woman in the deep south?

I thought it was very "Left Behind"

Terms of Endearment... I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME i see it! And if you have seen it you know where those parts are. I thought the casting was perfect...
Urban Cowboy... I think that the dynamics between John Travolta and Debra Winger were so VERY realistic....
Imitation of Life... Old black & white...
A young woman has to live with an unbearable regret after denying her mother because of her african descent... Kleenex box on lap... EVERY time!
2 super natural thrillers that I love are... The Entity with Barbara Hershey
and the old black and white original The Haunting... Both of those scared the heeby sheebies out of me...

I agree with just about everyone here, so many great movies, and diffucult to pick just one. The one movie I have always loved since I was a child, and watch at least three times a year is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Everytime Charlie opens that candy bar he bought with found money, I want to jump up and cheer for him!

Hi, all! I'm a newbie... I have to respond on the LOTR Trilogy... I just finished watching the 3 extended versions this weekend. In fact, I did watch them back-to-back as a reward for finishing my senior project at college.
